Tang Jiuge became Emperor Ming because the two had a life-and-death feud.
He gave Ning Guzhou a hard time because Ning Guzhou wanted to kidnap Tang Miaoxin.
But he had no reason to hate Ning Changping.
Ning Changping followed Tang Miaoxin into the palace before. Although he knew that Ning Changping was there, the little girl was afraid of him and stayed in the corner without any sense of presence.
So Tang Jiuge actually never saw Ning Changping's appearance clearly before.
At this time, he looked at Ning Changping and thought of Yu Wanwan. For no other reason than Ning Changping was very similar to Yu Wanwan when he was young.
He recalled some past events and asked Ning Changping: "How was your mother and concubine's life in the palace?"
Ning Changping didn't dare to hide anything, so he gave an overview of the days that Yu Bin had spent in the palace.
Tang Jiuge was originally a human spirit, and Ning Changping didn't need to explain his words too thoroughly, he could guess the general cause and effect.
He sighed softly and did not comment on what the concubine did back then.
He only said: "Ning Jing has calculated his whole life and is not very sincere. He should be somewhat sincere towards your mother and concubine."
"If you really like someone, you should treat them wholeheartedly, instead of using so-called intrigues to plot against them."
"Ning Jing self-righteously does the best for the other person, but in the end he may regret it for the rest of his life."
If anyone in the world knows Emperor Cheng Ming best, it should be Tang Jiuge.
The two of them fought to the death when they were young, and when they were middle-aged, they even wanted to kill each other.
If you want to win this battle, you must understand each other very well.
Ning Changping frowned: "You mean, my father likes my mother and concubine?"
"This is impossible. No matter how my mother-in-law is bullied by the queen and other concubines, my father will not care."
"How could it be possible to like someone like this?"
Tang Jiuge smiled: "Yes, how can you do this if you like someone? You understand this. Your father has never understood it. He is so stupid."
Ning Changping bit his lip and said, "I also think my father is quite stupid."
Although the little girl usually doesn't talk about it, she remembers the day of Concubine Yu's death very clearly.
She remembered the poison Emperor Cheng Ming had put on her long ago, remembered that Emperor Cheng Ming wanted to kill her and Ning Guzhou, and remembered how Concubine Yu looked when she died.
Even if Emperor Cheng Ming is her biological father, she still hates him very much.
From that day on, her only relative in this world was her brother Ning Guzhou.
Tang Jiuge looked at her with gentle eyes. He didn't say anything more about Yu Bin, but asked another thing: "Do you like Su Letian?"
Ning Changping nodded: "I like it."
Maybe because she scolded Emperor Cheng Ming with him just now, she found that he didn't seem that scary.
Although he was extremely coercive, he seemed to be different from Emperor Cheng Ming.
Tang Jiuge then said: "He is a decent gentleman. Although he lacks some stability, he is of high quality and is worthy of you."
Ning Changping was even happier when he heard him praise Su Letian: "He is very good, as good as my brother!"
Tang Jiuge laughed. Her way of complimenting others was very special, but it made him like this junior even more.
He said warmly: "When you and Su Letian get married, I will give you a generous gift."
When Ning Changping heard this, his face turned pale and he waved his hands wildly: "No, no! I can't bear your generous gift!"
She still clearly remembers the generous gift Tang Jiuge gave to Ning Guzhou, which caused Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin to be separated for four years.
She just wants to live a simple and happy life with Su Letian, and doesn't want to be separated at all, let alone Tang Jiuge's "generous gifts".
Tang Jiuge: "..."
Is he that scary?
Who said this little girl is stupid? She is obviously smart!
He coughed lightly and said: "I originally wanted to send an envoy to the first city with one hundred thousand taels of silver to protect you as a matchmaker in front of the city lord."
"Since you don't need it, forget it."
Ning Changping was stunned for a moment and asked directly what was in his heart: "Are you so kind?"
Tang Jiuge glanced at her, turned around and left.
Ning Changping knew that he had said something stupid and hurriedly chased him and said: "I didn't mean that, I just..."
"Hey! I was just scared by you before! I was wrong, I shouldn't doubt your intentions."
"After all, you are too powerful. You can push me to death with just one finger, so don't bother with me!"
Tang Jiuge was also doing some self-examination in his mind at this time, wondering whether he had gone too far in what he did back then, which even frightened this little girl.
He said quietly: "Su Letian, as the second young master of the First City, has his own responsibilities. He cannot stay in Guiqian forever."
"A few days ago, the city lord of the first city sent a letter asking him to buy some things in Guiqian."
"After he finishes shopping, he will return to the first city."
Ning Changping was stunned for a moment when she heard the news. When she came to her senses, Tang Jiuge had already walked away.
She dared to stop him once, but she didn't dare to stop him a second time.
The news he told her really stunned her.
She thought Su Letian would always be with her, but now she realized that people who were together would separate.
Everyone has their own responsibilities, and no matter how naive she is, she knows that she can't let Su Letian drop everything to play with her.
Getting together and separation is the normal state of life.
At this moment, Ning Changping, who was usually reluctant to use his brain, seemed to understand something.
And if she wants to be with Su Letian, she must marry him.
But if she wants to marry him, she will be separated from Ning Guzhou.
Ning Changping didn't quite understand what it meant to get married before, but now... he doesn't fully understand what it means to get married, but he understands that this is also a separation.
Separation is the last thing Ning Changping wants to face.
She returned to the East Palace in a state of despair. Shuxiu was surprised when he saw her like this: "What's wrong with you?"
Ning Changping asked with red eyes: "Shuxiu, is there any way you can make us all be together and never be apart again?"
Shuxiu was very surprised as to why she had such thoughts, so she told her everything that happened after she went out.
After she finished speaking, she felt that her thoughts seemed a bit pretentious, but she just felt uncomfortable.
After hearing this, Shuxiu sighed and said, "There is no such thing as a feast that never ends."
"Second Young Master Su has his responsibilities, and the princess also has her own responsibilities."
"As long as you have each other in your hearts, a brief separation is not terrible."
Ning Changping said softly: "I'm scared by the logic, but I'm just sad in my heart."
She didn't realize it herself. Ever since she knew she liked Su Letian, she felt a little more like a little daughter in her heart.
This thought made her a little worried about gain and loss.
Shuxiu smiled and said: "If Mr. Su knew the princess's thoughts, I'm afraid he would be very happy."
